A coalition of community and labor groups is calling on Wisconsinites to oppose Milwaukee hosting the 2024 Republican National Convention.
Democratic Mayor Cavalier Johnson calls it a business decision.
He says “it’ll put Milwaukee in a position where more large-scale events will then come back to Milwaukee.”
An open letter from Voces de la Frontera Action, SEIU of Wisconsin, and other organizations state that the Republican Party “supports White Supremacists, the violent attempted coup at the U.S. Capitol…and continues to engineer new ways to undermine fair and democratic elections.”
A Milwaukee Common Council Committee is scheduled to vote today on the RNC’s contract.
